I had an issue with getting ipx working over dlsw. The response from the de is
related here as well:
Most likely it will not work and we can't make it work. As you
said, DLSw+ is for SNA and NetBIOS - all other protocols work
more or less bu accident using lite circuits (start with IOS 11.3).
IPX will not work because DLSw converts all IPX ARPA frame (ethernet
type 2 with type code) into SNAP frames before forwarding them
to the remote peer. The remote peer doesn't know about that and happily
forwards a SNAP frame onto the ethernet.
So the only change you have is to configure ALL IPX stations to use
either SNAP or SAP encapsulation (but please the SAME on both sides).
But even with that - performance will suck and I can't guarantee that
there isn't some other catch.

Subject: DLSW and IPX
I have 4 routers set up on my desk, the 2 middle ones have 2 enet interfaces
and the end routers have one enet interface.
R1--------R2--------R3--------R4
I set up DLSW enet-to-enet between R2 and R3 using crb, routing ip and
bridging everything else. The only communication I can establish across
DLSw is IPX with sap encapsulation. Nothing else will ping. Has anyone
else noticed this?
